I wouldn't mind an invite too! It's worth a go anyway....

Post if you send anyone invites people, and we can update the page with whoever's already been sorted out :)

I read about it, but still don't understand what it is.
Is this another Yahoo Messenger combined with Facebook and other social networks?

I got invited onto Google Wave this morning. Looks very good.

I've not got any invites to give out myself yet, but as soon as I do I will send them to a few of you.

now I;ve had it for a few weeks... here is my impression....

yes, it is the future of email. at the moment its slow to load, but once your in its very fast. Google still have it marked as "preview" so I expect the speed issues will pick up when it gets released to a wider audience.

Its actually really good to have a straight forward conversation with someone in. basically an IM but improved.


the thing I was really looking forward to was the apis / apps / extensions / add-ons (whatever you want to call them). However, in the "preview" version of google wave, you only have access to the Yes/No/Maybe extension, the google maps extension and a sudoko extension. The rest (and there are hundreds already) are not available in the preview version yet. You can only access the rest if you are a developer in the sandbox version of google wave.

For me the extensions are what is going to make google wave immense. its just unfortunate I can't use any of them yet. Until the extensions are available I can't really judge how good google wave is going to be. It certainly has the potential to be the future, they just need to hurry up and let us at the extensions.


I've still not been given any invites to dish out yet. As soon as I do I'll send some out here.

The public release is planned for Spring 2010 right?

Thanks for the little review! Answers a lot of questions :)
